Radar Ring Bomber vs Fighter

[asterix]

...The way it is now, it is hard to determine the nature of an attack in our little sandbox MA being as a cluster of dots could easily be a gaggle of ponies as it could be a group of lancs.

-1 This is what I like about the MA- the unknowingness (not when the HQ is down of course). Sometimes it is frustrating and boring, but there are positive situations that make up for it all for me at least. But if it is good for me, it must be good for you.

Why would a Mossie bomber get a different radar dot than a mossie fighter? They are very difficult to distinguish even by eye and the icon system represent that by giving them the same tag when d>1000. In fact I fly moss16 at moderate altitudes and rely on pretending to be a fighter in order to reach the target through enemy defenders.

WWII radars did not distinguish between bombers and fighters. The radar operators made that distinction by the flight profile.

I think hes talking FORMATIONs getting a different icon.

I still don't see how this will contribute to a better game play with the one exception that it may encourage players to fly single bombers - as they should.

I don't see it either, but I would be happy knowing I was chasing a buff group as apposed to a single fighter that is mot likely going to pork and bail. Of course, most of the buffs do the same as well.
